Heavy Putter B3 Mallet
Heavy Putter B3 Mallet The Heavy Putter is a radical step in putter design. It is as different from conventional putters as a metal driver is from persimmon. When you putt with the Heavy Putter, you will Feel the Difference. Click Here to see all 6 Heavy Putter styles. Heavy Putter Technology Heavier Mass Putter Heads Patented Heavy Putter heads weigh between 450 and 550 grams. Conventional putter heads weigh roughly 330 to 350 grams. The heavier mass of the putter head disengages a golfer’s small wrist muscles and engages larger shoulder muscles. This promotes a pendulum stroke and leads to a more consistent swing path. The heavier head mass also produces a softer feel by dampening vibration at impact. Weight Management System (WMS) A low balance point exacerbates the putter head’s release causing wrist breakdown through impact, making the putter head uncontrollable. Heavy Putter have a WMS insert weighing 250 grams located inside the upper shaft. (Patented) The WMS shifts the putter’s balance point higher up the shaft. High Balance Point Heavy Putters have a balance point that is 75% higher than conventional putters. (Patent Pending) The higher balance point allows the golfer to manage the heavier mass head and consequently benefit from its greater stability. Raising the balance point of the putter brings the center of mass of the putter closer to the center of mass of the golfer. This increases the stability of the putter throughout the stroke. The higher balance point also creates a tighter end over end roll of the golf ball. Locating the correct balance point for each golfer ensures a proper and consistent release through impact. Extreme Heel-Toe Weighting Heavy Putter head designs have incorporated extreme heel-toe weighting which creates a high moment of inertia. A high moment of inertia means that the putter head will resist twisting on off center hits and consequently produce straighter putts that reach the hole. Conclusion The results for the golfer are improved path, greater stability and a consistent release through impact which results in a superior roll of the golf ball leading to fewer putts per round and improved scores. Optional Weight Kit The Heavy Putter Optional Weight Kit includes 2 Aluminum 10 gram weights, & 2 Copper Tungsten 35 gram weights. The putter comes installed with (2) 22.5 gram weights. With the optional weight kit you can customize your Heavy Putter to your desired weight and putting stroke. Heavy Putter Testing * The Heavy Putter has been PGA Tour tested and tour proven. The response from the PGA Tour has been overwhelmingly positive. * Early prototypes of the Heavy PutterA? were used in PGA and College tournaments as well as by top amateur golfers. * Early testing done by Bentley Sports revealed the prominent differential of the Heavy PutterA? over traditional putters. * The field testing was done by golfers of all abilities an
